how are osmosis and diffusion different how are they the same?

Answer 1

Osmosis is the diffusion of water and diffusion is just the spreading of particles, trust me.

Answer 2

Diffusion is the movement of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration until the universal concentration is the same, then its just the movement of particles within that concentration, which remains the same.
Osmosis is simply diffusion taking place specifically of water particles.

Answer 3

Osmosis is the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane from a region of low solute potential to a region of high solute potential (or equivalently, from a region of high solvent potential to a region of low solvent potential)

Diffusion, is spontaneous spreading of matter (particles or molecules), heat, momentum, or light. Diffusion is one type of transport phenomenon. Diffusion is the movement of particles from higher chemical potential to lower chemical potential (chemical potential can in most cases of diffusion be represented by a change in concentration)

Go see the web site I put in source. They have pictures that could help you to remember the difference.

Answer 4

osmosis is the diffusion of water across membranes. diffusion is the process of random movement toward a state of equilibrium or the NET movement from regions of greater concentration to regions of lesser concentration.

Answer 5

osmosis is the difussion of water. diffusion is the process whereby particles of liquids, gases, or solids intermingle as the result of their spontaneous movement caused by thermal agitation and, in dissolved substances, move from a region of higher to one of lower concentration. basically they equal out.

Answer 6

Osmosis is movement of WATER particles (only) through a PARTIALLY PERMEABLE MEMBRANE.
Difussion is the movement of particles from a high region of concentration to a low region of concetration
